"Maybe Neymar (laughs). No I think it's a joke. It was a tricky question from one person in the press conference. It's so difficult to find the truth,” said Pochettino in an interview with beIN Sports.

“I think Dele Alli has his personalities completely different maybe to Neymar. I think he's a special player too. I don’t know if he's in this level yet but the potential will be like him or better.

“I think Dele is an unbelievable player, great player, still very young and his potential is massive and we'll see what happens. He has the potential to improve a lot."
